This is one of the best (and only) movies I have seen in a long time. I have watched it many times and have never received any positive reviews. There are a few spoilers that I will not spoil. I only suggest that you watch it if you have not seen it. I am sure the odds of seeing it are very high. I can't wait to see it again.
This is one of those rare films that auteur and director can occasionally work with. In this case, it's an ultra-corner of the action movies. The film is set in a small town and is loosely based on the book by William Penn. The acting is excellent and the film has overtones of the book. The story is pretty standard for that kind of thing, but this is not quite the period film that Penn was working in
